Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (UK) in November

Icon Home Entertainment have announced the UK DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale on 7th November 2011. This alternative Christmas movie from Finnish director Jalmari Helander comes to the UK with no extras.

Synopsis: Driven by his curiosity regarding a supposed archeological excavation located on a mountain near his remote rural home, young and adventurous Pietari stumbles upon the shocking, ugly truth about the being known the world over as Santa Claus.

Local legend suggests the jolly old man in the red suit was in reality a supernatural creature that, rather than rewarding children for being good, severely punished those who were naughty. When a large herd of reindeer on which Pietari’s father depends for his livelihood is found slaughtered, the townsfolk suspect it is the work of hungry wolves that have crossed into the area from the nearby slopes. But when all the local children mysteriously disappear overnight, Pietari fears the scientists on the mountain have unearthed something extremely sinister and very much alive from what is apparently “the largest burial mound in the world”.
